$25k would be good if so. Just be ready for surprise expenses at the end. wife and I added a videographer that was expensive but now a days if you asked either one of us we could have skipped photos and just done that ( we watch it every year ).

Smart move on the car. The other benefit then is you should hve some down payment money from the wedding for car so it’s not a bad choice. Have you figured out how expensive the car is you want to buy? That’s the other big piece. Good news is market should be adjusted next year (used cars dropping big time right now).

And the house the comment was more about must have repairs immediately. I invest in real estate and been around it all my life. $250k I don’t doubt you can get 3-4 bedrooms my comment was more the fact that you are likely looking at 1950-1980’s time period for it being built (unless you are looking at town homes?) and so you might have some bigger repairs needed when buying like a roof, new hvac, etc… It’s just something to keep in mind you might have some larger bills on top of the closing costs when buying.
